WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES

contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

· lead from lead-based paints,

· crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

· arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to

follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark

areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or

break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your

body is grounded.

3. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the

risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in.

Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.

4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool ON. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOLS USE AND CARE

1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your

body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

2. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or OFF. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.

Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused

by poorly maintained tools.

8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become

hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.

Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR ROUTERS

1. NEVER ADJUST the depth of cut while the motor is running. This action

may cause personal injury and/or damage to cutter or workpiece.

2. CHECK TO SEE that the cord is free and will not “hang up” during routing operations.

3. KEEP YOUR HANDS CLEAR of the cutter when the motor is running to prevent personal injury.

4. MAINTAIN A FIRM GRIP on the router when starting the motor to resist starting torque.

5. STAY ALERT and keep the cutter clear of all foreign objects while the motor is running.

6. BE CERTAIN THAT the motor has completely stopped before putting the machine down between operations.

7. DO NOT use router bits with a diameter in excess of 21/8" in this machine.

8. DO NOT hand-hold the router in an upside-down or horizontal position.

The motor can fall from the base if it is not properly attached according to instructions (see page 7).

9. AVOID “CLIMB-CUTTING” (see page 10). “Climb-cutting” increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible personal injury.

10. NEVER TOUCH the router bits after use. They get extremely hot during operation.

11. CHECK TO SEE THAT the bit is centered in the templet guide (See page

9) to avoid personal injury and/or damage to finished work

12. SOME WOOD CONTAINS PRESERVATIVES WHICH CAN BE TOXIC.

Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request and follow any safety information available from your material supplier.

13. WARNING: This tool was designed for certain applications. DO NOT modify and/or use it for any application other than for which it was designed. If you have questions relative to its application DO NOT use the tool until you have written Porter-Cable and we have advised you.
